Re: Ok I give up with weights!!

Re: Lav Placement...
If your going to let the wire show, DO NOT run it over the shoulder from the back to front! That screams amateur and looks so bad it makes me crazy!
OOOPS. I did that a year ago on an interview...

Re: Lav Placement...
Guys,
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start anything. ;-) I've always or at least for the last 30 years known MoS to stand for "man on the street". I've not done film production so I never heard of the...

Re: Lav Placement...
Daniel,
Thanks. You learn something new everyday. I had no idea that MOS was used in another context. Again thanks!

Re: Lav Placement...
Hey Rick, I don't understand what you meant. MOS to me has always been 'Man on the Street' news style so I'm not sure about your comment. Please explain.

Lineal edit? I'd just as soon stick a fork in my eye! Yep one camera, one audio source. You what that did? Taught one how to shoot and not depend on having multiple cams and audio even when you did...

Re: Am I Stupid, or does Vegas suck for multicam
Jim,
I can't answer for Vegas even though I use it since V.2 but I CAN answer for using a 3rd party multicam plug in. Personally I use Excalibur by Edward Troxel. I've been using it since it came...

Re: Micing up the father of the bride
I didn't start using multiple cameras until somewhere around 2000. Until then I was using a full size cam the last being the JVC X2s and if you recall those, they were expensive and I couldn't...

Re: Micing up the father of the bride
Nope, no reason to. Adrian, if you keep mic'ing people up you're gonna need a audio guy with a 12 channel mixer on his chest. Remember, you're not shooting a feature film. ;-)

Re: Lav Placement...
I've never really worried about hiding the lav. Doing MOS type interviews the clients don't seem to care that the lav can be seen.

Re: Ok I give up with weights!!
Chris,
actually the Multirig did fold up. For small form factor cams it was a treat, at least as far as I'm concerned. One reason it was costly is the quality was top notch and at the time it came...
